How to start a
business
To start any Productive Business You Should follow these steps :
10 steps to start your business
Starting a business involves planning, making key financial decisions, and completing a
series of legal activities. Scroll down to learn about each step.
1. Conduct market research
Market research will tell you if there’s an opportunity to turn your idea into a successful
business. It’s a way to gather information about potential customers and businesses
already operating in your area. Use that information to find a competitive advantage for
your business.
2. Write your business plan
Your business plan is the foundation of your business. It’s a roadmap for how to
structure, run, and grow your new business. You’ll use it to convince people that working
with you — or investing in your company — is a smart choice.
3. Fund your business
Your business plan will help you figure out how much money you’ll need to start your
business. If you don’t have that amount on hand, you’ll need to either raise or borrow
the capital. Fortunately, there are more ways than ever to find the capital you need.
4. Pick your business location
Your business location is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. Whether
you’re setting up a brick-and-mortar business or launching an online store, the choices
you make could affect your taxes, legal requirements, and revenue.
5. Choose a business structure
The legal structure you choose for your business will impact your business registration
requirements, how much you pay in taxes, and your personal liability.
6. Choose your business name
It’s not easy to pick the perfect name. You’ll want one that reflects your brand and
captures your spirit. You’ll also want to make sure your business name isn’t already being
used by someone else.
7. Register your business
Once you’ve picked the perfect business name, it’s time to make it legal and protect your
brand. If you’re doing business under a name different than your own, you’ll need to
register with the federal government, and maybe your state government, too.
8. Get state tax IDs
You’ll use your employer identification number (EIN) for important steps to start and
grow your business, like opening a bank account and paying taxes.
9. Apply for licenses and permits
Keep your business running smoothly by staying legally compliant. The licenses and
permits you need for your business will vary by industry, state, location, and other
factors.
10. Open a business bank account
A small business checking account can help you handle legal, tax, and day-to-day issues.
The good news is it’s easy to set one up if you have the right registrations and
paperwork ready.
